Ash.....it's difficult for me to put into words. Most of us see the news. It is abstract. We know that there are people suffering but we do not know them. So it is easier to care less. You came here and have become someone we now know as a person, a personality. You are not just 'another random person of different skin colour and faith'. It is easy for MOST people to not become emotionally invested in victims, and even participants, of suffering around the world when we do not know them as human beings and individuals. Whether you realize it or not, you are doing good things for your fellow country men and women. You are reaching out to people across the globe and putting a face on the suffering in your part of the world. In ways that would otherwise not happen. You help us be more aware, to care more. To understand that there are things that are more important than the trivial shit some of us turn into big deals. We care about you, and through you, others there that are suffering in ways we cannot imagine. In ways we do not want to imagine. You humble us. What you are going through humbles me.
